Under and Over cloud
Nova cannot reliably run two different
hypervisors in one cloud today
So we run two+ clouds:
the undercloud, a bare metal cloud that→
runs on, and owns, all the hardware
the overcloud, a regular VM based cloud→
running as a tenant on the bare metal
cloud
additional VM clouds can run as parallel→
tenants on the undercloud (e.g. for
testing).

15. © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
Undercloud
Fully HA Bare metal Openstack→
Self hosted: nodes in the control plane are tenants within it→
Aiming for as few as 2 machines for the control plane→
All additional nodes are available for the overcloud tenant→

16. © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
Overcloud
Fully HA KVM based Openstack hosted by the undercloud→
Orchestrated by Heat running in the undercloud→
Can (optionally) use the same disk images for most services→

Installation
Special case of normal deployment→
Run a collapsed cluster:→
– a single image with Heat + Nova Bare metal in a VM
Bridge that to the new datacentre network→
Enroll the machines→
Tell Heat that we want an HA configuration→
Wait while it scale the undercloud out→
Switch off the VM image→
Tell Heat to recover from the loss of the VM node→
(by scaling out again)
Deploy the overcloud as a tenant→
